I am so sick of being insulted!

As a Petite woman 5ft.3, I am so sick of hearing how great the clothes look on the very tall models and how Jane and Pat wish they were taller. The average woman who is supposed to be 5ft 4 and a size large is a joke. 5ft. 4 is petite, 5ft 6 or 7 is more like average. Please , the powers that be, let the hosts who are comfortable with their size and not so shallow do more fashion presentations. I will not buy another fashion item from a host who insults me.

I'm 5'2" and I don't wish I were taller. I'm not sure I follow what you mean by hosts insulting you though. What do you mean?

Come on....haven't we short women wanted to be taller at some point? I'm 5' and would love to be 6-8 inches taller. We are what we are. Be happy and don't look for reasons to take offense where none is intended.

When the hosts gush over the models and almost apologize for being short and are selling me a petite person fashion, that insults me.

Now a days it takes so little to be insulted.

That song always made me laugh. (Yes, I am short too, lol.)

I should know better than to voice an opinion on these forums, people agree on so little even when they have so much in common.

If you take what sales people on TV say that personally, well, it is time to get a relationship with "someone" other than your TV. Seriously.
